Thank you all. I want to remain positive but I think when I don't see the scale move I am back in my mind to the way it was before surgery.

The scale had not moved for me in over a week but I keep having people tell me how much they notice the loss. I am doing lots of excercising & I am sure I am not getting enough of my liquids in. It is so hard!

I will do it too! I did weigh myself today. My husband set up his racing scale for me today :) I was curious how much I lost, my starting weight was questionable due to the fact that the week of surgery I get PMS and my cycle. It made for a crazy hospital stay. It was hard to determine what was menstrual pain/side effects and surgery side effects.

So I may drop weight quickly at first due to that issue.

Kmiller,

I had my surgery Tuesday as well! I came home Friday though. Did you have issues or just wanted to be careful?

I was an open surgery so I had staples to deal with. I quickly discovered that I became lactose intolerant, but that's ok. I came home on Thursday, and went to my granddaughters dance recital the next night.

Congrats to everyone on their progress and for those of you who didn't see a loss just remember that your body's weight can fluctuate daily and muscle weighs more than fat. Also just be proud of yourself for taking this step to a healthier you and don't compare yourself to others, we all lose at different rates. Good luck!

Thank you for those words of encouragement... because its so easy to compare yourself to others then thus the discouraged feelings when your weight loss isn't as great or fast as theirs. Those words were words very relevant to how I so often feel. Thank you soooooo much

Today's weigh in was 314....lost a pound. Even though it's a pound I am going to Praise the Lord for His strength and for His blessings. Woo hoo! Even if it's 1 at a time I am happy!

Remember everyone, if you lose 1 pound, that's 4 sticks of butter gone. That's good. 1 pound a week is still 52 pounds in a year.

I haven't done the weekly weigh in but have lost 9.4kgs (20.7lbs) since I started this journey four weeks ago. And 6kgs (13.22lbs) since my op on May 8th. Weight is moving slowly,.... It feels like but still going down. Still got a way to go yet but excited about the changes.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
